Trevor Story announced Monday that he will take part in the Home Run Derby at Coors Field.

Story joins a field that thus far includes Shohei Ohtani, Pete Alonso and Trey Mancini.

The Colorado Rockies shortstop is in the final year of his contract and has been the subject of trade rumors.

"I've always wanted to do it under the right circumstances, and things just lined up for me, with the hometown club here in Denver, in a park that I'm familiar with," Story said. "It's always been on my radar. I had an opportunity earlier in my career to do it, and I thought now is the time to do it."

Trey Mancini, who missed the entire 2020 season after being diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer, has accepted an invitation from Major League Baseball to participate in the Home Run Derby, according to sources.

He returned to the Baltimore Orioles this season after undergoing surgery to treat the cancer.

Mancini is hitting .260/.337/.446 this year with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs.

The Houston Astros have a major league-best seven finalists to start in the 2021 All-Star Game.

The top-three finalists for each position based on fan voting in each league, plus designated hitter for the American League were announced Sunday.

Gary Sanchez has seven home runs in his last 12 games for the New York Yankees.

The catcher told reporters on Thursday that he is not interested in participating in this year's Home Run Derby, instead seeking rest. Sanchez participated in the event in 2017 and came away fatigued.

Sanchez, 28, is up to .240/.344/.503 on the season.

Shohei Ohtani announced on Friday that he will participate in this year's Home Run Derby.

The Los Angeles Angels star is hitting .272/.357/.649 with 23 home runs in 239 at-bats this season.

As a pitcher, he's 3-1 with a 2.70 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 53 1/3 innings.

Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. appears interested in participating in this year's Home Run Derby.

Guerrero said on Tuesday that he hasn't made a final decision, but that he's leaning toward saying yes if the league asks him to partake.

In 2019, Guerrero set records for the most home runs in a single round (29) and in a single Derby (91), but he lost in the finals to Pete Alonso.

He entered Tuesday hitting .346/.451/.697 (211 OPS+) with 22 home runs.

It seems possible that Shohei Ohtani could be asked to hit and pitch in next month's All-Star Game at Coors Field.

Ohtani leads American League designated hitters in fan votes by a wide margin and has also put together a great season on the mound.

Joe Maddon, who has made it a point to ease most of Ohtani's prior restrictions, wouldn't be against it.

"Just depends on his day," the Los Angeles Angels manager said. "It's just an inning, and I know that if he's able to do that, I would have no objections to it. His schedule's been great, the number of innings pitched, how many pitches he's thrown I think is in really good order. I don't see a dramatic spike between now and then. It would just be how he feels and what he thinks about it. I think that would be the way to determine that.

"The fact that he's such an unusual participant, definitely would like to hear what he has to say about it."

Ohtani has a 2.85 ERA with 68 strikeouts and 28 walks in 47⅓ innings through his first nine starts. He also entered Monday with a .961 OPS and 17 home runs, the latter tied for fifth most in the majors.
